"Show node names when dropped" option

Status: New

I prefer having the setting "Show subVI names when dropped" ticked (found in Tools >> Options >> Block Diagram). However, this option applies only to VIs. It doesn't apply to primitive nodes such as "Search 1D Array", "Format Into String" or "Match Pattern". This is fine, as the name of the setting implies this.

 

However, because I sometimes prefer showing the names of nodes, I have to select one or multiple nodes, right-click and select "Visible Items >> Label". This is a minor inconvenience, but it'd be nice if there was another option named something like "Show node names when dropped", as seen below. When ticked, the node labels would be visible by default. Hopefully the implementation effort of this setting is low.
